lemonade

5/5/20

today, was feeling bad from just getting period and R came to my room while i was remote working and he was in the middle of cooking us lunch (tuna & asparagus). He asked what I wanted to drink, and I said lemonade (bc that’s what I wanted), even tho I knew we didn’t have it in the house. I also think he maybe knew that I knew we didn’t have it (because we grocery shop together), and also maybe sensed I was a little grumpy/down.

But he made it for me, from scratch out of lemons and coconut sugar (I’m trying to never buy white sugar, so all we had was brown sugar, coconut sugar, maple syrup, honey). When lunch was ready he called me to come out and when we had both our full plates on the table in front of the TV he said, “oh, i almost forgot–one more thing…” and went to the fridge and pulled out the cup of it he’d made for me. “…lemonade” he said as he handed it over and i sipped with wide eyes.

It was brown and delicious and kind of changed my whole mood for the rest of the day. My husband. 🙂
